I have been reading a lot lately about not wearing outside shoes in the house and it interests me even more because I’ve been saving to re-carpet my whole house. It hits me every now and then about how to do things though, like, say I’m cooking all day on Sunday then need to take the trash out. I’m assuming it’s change shoes, then say the grandkids stop by and want to go go for a bike ride? I’m assuming it’s change shoes. I guess maybe what I’m asking is how many baskets by how many doors with how many pairs of slip-ons (both indoor and out) do I need?
I’m not American in any way, but I am fond of urbanism. Imagine your cities built in a very car-centric way, so to get anywhere any time you always use a car. Your shoes are almost clean all the time. Home, car, groceries, car, home, car, office, car, bar, car, home. A park is miles away, you don’t pass it by when you walk from the office. So I disagree with the barbarism. The concept is just suitable only for a specific urban design.
That’s a lot of dirty parking lots you’re walking through… even the cleanest surfaces outside have way more dust and grime than inside.
You are totally right. I’m just trying to find at least a theoretical explanation for this behavior.
You make it sound like sidewalks are sparkling clean
no-no, not at all, I’m just trying to find at least a theoretical explanation for this behavior.
In my experience, they’re cleaner than most carpets.
I’m so sorry for the carpets you’ve experienced. That’s disgusting.
Me too. Hardwoods for life.
Ever use an ill-maintained public bathroom?
